On Her Majesties Service Apparently Poem by Matthew Holloway

The houses of parliament and lords
Beside the clock tower and river
Tradition and history set in stone
In service of the queen and people
Of the United kingdom and Great British isles
A bastion of lies and deception
A site of greed and corruption
Each politician elected to office
Each lord born or bought into power
Few sit daily on matters of legislation
Many spend time in the bars and restaurants
Spinning out expenses playing games
In order to solidify power
Over paid and out of touch they laugh
At those who elected them
Perhaps Guy Fawkes had the right idea
Or perhaps a revaluation is required
The system is flawed, broken, dead
Needs striping back to the start
Remove the peers for elected office
Remove the expenses and second homes
Remove the bars they shouldn't drink on the job
Remove the filibuster and self serving votes
Pay them the minimum wage they believe
That people can survive on day by day
offer the incentive, the bonus
Of a successful economy paying dividends
To their bank accounts come tax year end
Make the government work for us
Instead of for themselves for a change
Maybe this is overly optimistic
And the future will remain
With what we have today
Elected and un-elected names
Filling the papers and media
On her Majesties service apparently
